Chapter 1073: Chapter 225: Fated Yet Not Destined
Could this Demon Beast before me actually be Ye Beiming?
Just as Feng Tian was about to voice his suspicion, his already battered body fell to the ground, forever losing the chance to compete with Ye Beiming.
"Phew, finally dead, though itâs just a Three-tailed Heavenly Fox. Is it really that formidable? Then the real Heavenly Fox must be defying the heavens," Donghuang Lingling sighed in relief but immediately realized she had misspoken.
Chang Simingâs expression instantly grew heavy, and his eyes turned hostile as he looked at Yun Sheng.
Feng Tian killed the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, and in Chang Simingâs eyes, Yun Sheng, as a Heavenly Fox, must be a conspirator.
After Gold Coin finished off Feng Tian, he approached Yun Sheng with a fawning expression.
Yun Sheng snorted, pulling Bo Bo back, leaving Gold Coin behind.
Golden Qilin Ye Beiming was suspicious; he couldnât shake the feeling that Little Wildcat seemed different.
Could it be she discovered something?
Feng Tian completely destroyed the Dutian Blood Seal, and after thorough examination, Chang Siming concluded that the Dutian Blood Seal could not be repaired.
This made Ji Ru Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
Chang Siming wouldnât relentlessly pursue Yun Sheng anymore.
With the Blood Seal unrepairable, the remaining option was to redraw a Magic Array.
Even though the Fifth Priest died, the sky above the Blood Seal had been heavily corroded with hostility, looking like a sieve full of holes.
The space barrier between Wuji Continent and Bahuang Continent was unprecedentedly weak, and the Eight Desolate Beast Clanâs army could launch their next attack at any time.
"Although I donât have a method to rebuild the Dutian Blood Seal right now, I believe that as long as Ru Mo and I have some time, weâll definitely find a solution," Chang Siming was confident about this.
He and Ji Ru Mo possessed many Magic Books, and he had already contacted the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.
Iâm sure both parties searching ancient texts will definitely find some clues.
Time is running out; the longer it drags on, the more likely the next wave of Beast Warriors from the Eight Desolate Beast Clan will arrive.
Who knows who will come next after the Fifth Priest?
So during this time, itâs crucial to quickly find alternative new Magic Arrays to replace the Dutian Blood Seal.
The discovery of New Magic, for now, remains elusive.
After some discussion, everyone decided to set up camp near the Dutian Inn for the time being.
Though Feng Tianâs death was due to his own doing, he was a trainee of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp. Senior Sister Lan collected his corpse, cremated it, and would send his ashes back to his mentor in a few days.
Feng Tian was an orphan; the Mainland Magic Elite Camp was the only one to lay him to rest.
After the Blood Seal collapsed, people from various powers arrived one after another. With so many people, besides the wounded being placed in the relatively better guest rooms of the inn, most had to sleep on the open ground outside the inn.
Yun Sheng stayed in a tent with Lingling and Senior Sister Lan.
Because of the cold war with Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng unceremoniously expelled him from the tent.
Poor Gold Coin was forced to lie outside the tent, occasionally letting out dissatisfied growls.
Worried that Blood Cloud Beasts might appear at night, they arranged for shifts to keep watch.
In the middle of the night, Yun Sheng woke up and found Lingling missing.
Yun Sheng teleported out of the tent instantly.
Outside the tent, Gold Coin was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Sheng felt a vague sense of loss and searched around outside, discovering Donghuang Lingling sitting by an Illumination Magic Array, lost in thought.
"Lingling, whatâs wrong?" Yun Sheng approached.
Under the Illumination Magic Array, Donghuang Linglingâs brows were furrowed, and there were visible traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
"Nothing," Donghuang Lingling hurriedly covered up when she heard Yun Shengâs voice.
"Is it because of Gu Feng?" Yun Sheng had noticed earlier that Donghuang Lingling seemed to have had a fallout with Gu Feng.
They were always bickering like a pair of lovers, but Donghuang Lingling had never cried before whenever she fought with Gu Feng. But this time?
"Iâve thought it over. Gu Feng and I canât be together," Donghuang Lingling had been troubled over this issue all night.
She certainly liked Gu Feng, but his timid nature disappointed Donghuang Lingling time and again.
Especially today, Donghuang Linglingâs hope was thoroughly crushed.
"Gu Feng is a Light Mage; he canât charge into battle like other Mages, but he can save people. You know, itâs a different kind of warfare. Lingling, you canât let hatred blind you. I understand you want to find a man who can help you avenge, but you canât abandon Gu Feng, who truly cares for you, just for the sake of hatred," Yun Sheng advised.
"Yun Sheng, youâre not me; you canât understand the weight of responsibility I bear. Iâm about to inherit the throne of Emperor Donghuang. My brother is in such condition he canât assume the leadership anymore. My mother hopes I find a Prince Consort who can provide both civil and military assistance. Gu Feng is unsuitable for me," Donghuang Lingling had made her decision, and no amount of persuasion from Yun Sheng could change her mind.
Yun Sheng wanted to say more, but Donghuang Lingling wasnât willing to continue the conversation.
"Yun Sheng, Iâve made up my mind. Itâs my turn to keep watch. You should rest," Donghuang Lingling stood up and left without looking back.
Yun Sheng didnât immediately leave; she sighed, "Gu Feng, come out."
Since Yun Sheng found Donghuang Lingling, sheâd already noticed Gu Feng hiding nearby in the corner.
The boy probably found Donghuang Lingling a moment before she did, but seeing Lingling still angry, he didnât dare approach.
Gu Feng must have heard everything Donghuang Lingling said.
The boyâs eyes were red, his nose redâhe looked both pitiful and irritating.
"Yun Sheng, does Lingling really not want me anymore?" Gu Feng hadnât slept well since night fell; he knew his response during the day disappointed Lingling, but he didnât expect Lingling to decide to leave him.
"Gu Feng, you clearly heard Linglingâs words. Donât be too sad. Lingling is just upset now; maybe things will turn around later," Yun Sheng didnât know what else to say.
She wasnât good at handling emotional issues; otherwise, her troubles with Ye Hu wouldnât be so chaotic.
Gu Feng and Lingling were both her good friends, and she didnât want either to be hurt.
But if Lingling truly became Emperor Donghuang, Gu Feng indeed wouldnât be a suitable Prince Consort.
"Yun Sheng, thank you for comforting me. I... I know what to do now," Gu Feng smiled bitterly.
He understood Yun Sheng was trying to console him.
Lingling was going to find a new Prince Consort; she wouldnât return.
Empress Dowager Situ had disliked him for a long time, which Gu Feng was well aware of.
He could only blame himself for being useless.
Gu Feng left, dejected, one step at a time.
Yun Sheng watched Gu Fengâs fading silhouette, then lifted her gaze to the hostility-filled Sky Blood Realm, a heavy feeling growing stronger within her, as if something was about to happen.
